Recommended Posts

Hey all!!! Well i am officially "A BANDSTER"!!!!! Sooo excited. Surgery went as good as could be expected today. I think i was so nervous about the anesthesia that I forgot to really think about the pain afterwards. IT is nothing unbearable...Im lucky that i dont have the shoulder pain that alot do. It isnt too bad at all because i had my husband move a recliner in my bedroom and it is where i shall sleep tonight...as i cannot lay in the bed. Getting up and down..to pee...etc...is very difficult (The port site) ...so im taking that very very slowly . Some gas soreness in under ribs...so cant breathe really deeply but its not that bad. I am so happy its over and so happy and so THANKFUL to be on the otherside of this finally. Such a trip to get this far ...and now the journey finally begins!!!! And I am ready for it!!!!!! Love all you guys!!!

Hurray! It's a great feelng to have it over with. I am feeling better each day. Just working on getting enough Protein and Water. I slept sitting up the first 2 nights but have been able to get in bed a few hours since then. Was hard to get out at first but I'm working on it. Looking forward to the next steps too!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
